The Horseman -- April 1902 -- Santa Rosa Stock Farm -- Owned by the Pierce Brothers -- Originally from East Baldwin, Maine

The post on the April 1902 issue of The Horseman presents a page sampler from the issue. The second storyboard includes a short article on the Santa Rosa Stock Farm. This farm was owned by the Pierce brothers of Biddeford and East Baldwin, Maine. Henry Pierce traveled to California during the gold rush. In San Francisco, he purchased an unused biscuit making machine and started accumulating his fortune. Henry was a lover of trotting horses and founded the Santa Rosa Stock Farm. Lou Dillon was foaled on this farm. His nephew, Orestes Pierce, who operated Saddleback Farm in East Baldwin joined his uncle in California. Henry Pierce died in 1902.



The following storyboard contains a short article on
the Santa Rosa Stock Farm.




The following storyboard contains short statements under the headline of Current Items. Currently, many of Maine's harness racing industry organizations and supports use social media as a communications tool. It would be wonderful if more horseman used social media as a means to tell their stories, promote their stables and horses, and the industry.
